Very nice and a reminder to treat myself to Owen Hatherley's latest tome:

One of my favourite local brutalist pieces is the Trinity United Reform Church on Ecclesall Road (Sheffield):
Even more striking at night, when the metallic cross is illuminated.

Less brutalist, more mid 80s Soviet nerve gas lab.
I do like a bit of brutalism, Park Hill & the old electric substation in Sheffield are highlights.

I spent many hours shuttling between the Arts Tower and Western Bank Library when I did my philosophy PhD, back in the 90s. Happy days.

I worked in Birmingham on and off for many years and saw most of the changes to its architecture. I do not use the term Brutalist in a pejorative way - architecture is about, more about probably, the interior of a building than its exterior.
I would argue that Alpha Tower where I worked on the 25th floor (fire drills were tough but most of us used it as an excuse for a long lunch) cannot reasonably described as of the Brutalist style.

Are you sure that's Brutalism? It makes me think of a crematorium or a sinister military installation with a Gothic "thing" on top. But I agree it is brutal.

The Celtic Manor Resort (Newport) always strikes me as a bit of a brute.
Awful thing!
